The diagram shows the curve \(y = \sqrt{x^4 + 4x + 4}\).

(i) Find the equation of the tangent to the curve at the point \((0, 2)\).

(ii) Show that the \(x\)-coordinates of the points of intersection of the line \(y = x + 2\) and the curve are given by the equation \((x + 2)^2 = x^4 + 4x + 4\). Hence find these \(x\)-coordinates.
